I know it's a fine point, but since I'm also in charge of training folks on the board, I want to make sure we do it right.

I've tried to watch for it at the college games I attend, but I always get caught up in the game and forget to check.
From an official's standpoint, I'd rather have it on after the 6th foul. Of course, if the numbe of fouls is listed, I never look at the light.

And, a "heads up" from the scorer is always nice "next one will be bonus for white"
